played
We played hard, but there were too many fumbles.
blame excuse hard knew sit work
It could have been an excuse for us to sit back, blame it on the travel. But we have (today) off and we knew that, so we wanted to work hard and get the two points.
eight playoffs
It is going to be nice, but we see them a lot this year. We see them eight times and in the playoffs so we could play them 15 times.
against boston chemistry dangerous expect few finding game glenn good holes knew looks maybe playing quick realize san seeing sure trying tv
I wasn't sure what to expect when I got traded. Not playing against San Jose much and only seeing him on TV a few times, I didn't realize how good and quick and dangerous he is at finding those holes a passer always looks for when he's trying to find a goal-scorer. After the first game or two, I knew we had that kind of chemistry I had with Glenn Murray for so many years in Boston . Maybe better.
worried
I wasn't worried about not having a goal,
came good third
We just came out flat, that's all it was. We had a good third period, but the first two were not so good.
allowed ancient challenges complexity current entirely error evolution evolved found functions genes millions molecular process selection techniques work
Our work demonstrates a fundamental error in the current challenges to Darwinism. New techniques allowed us to see how ancient genes and their functions evolved hundreds of millions of years ago. We found that complexity evolved piecemeal through a process of Molecular Exploitation -- old genes, constrained by selection for entirely different functions, have been recruited by evolution to participate in new interactions and new functions.
bear close door game good great learn minutes played seems start until
I thought we played 55 minutes of great hockey. We've got to learn to close the door when we get a chance. We say it, it seems like every game now. Until we start learning, we really need to bear down. It just wasn't good enough tonight.
speed
I think we have more speed than them.
best both ends feels penalty playing
I think both ends of the rink, it feels like my best year. I'm playing more penalty kill than I ever have.
fans great hope sports
I think Boston's a great sports city, and I think the fans are great here. We said 'We're sorry' so many times -- we just hope the fans will come back, and I think they will.
great pleased
Judson's a great kid. I'm real pleased with him.
couple good job kicking
Judson made some good decisions. Davin made a couple big plays, some big catches. He also did a good job punting and kicking for us.
boy canadian
This is a little different from down there. But I'm a Canadian boy and I like the winter.
